og127关于修饰对象的问题！！！

ford424

127. In theory, international civil servants at the United Nations are prohibited from continuing to draw salaries from their own governments; in practice, however, some governments merely substitute living allowances for their employees' paychecks. assigned by them to the United Nations.

(A)  for their employees' paychecks, assigned by them

(B)  for the paychecks of their employees who have been assigned

(C)  for the paychecks of their employees, having been assigned

(D)  in place of their employees' paychecks, for those of them assigned

(E)   in place of the paychecks of their employees to have been assigned by them

In choice A, the phrase assigned by them modifies the adjacent noun, paychecks: the sentence implies that paychecks, rather than employees, work at the United Nations.

不是说分词在句尾，当前面有逗号的时候做状语修饰主句主语吗？

这里为什么说可以修饰paychecks作定语？？？

请教大家！

以下是引用wwwhahchn在2004-12-3 23:21:00的发言：

白勇的《GMAT语法全解》上说：现在分词短语在句尾：（1）表伴随动作、状态、功能，与句子谓语动作同时发生，逻辑主语等与句子主语；（2）表伴随结果，整个句子是原因，导致分词动作产生，无逻辑主语

C中显然是第（1）种情况，having been assigned修饰some governments，不合理

但是这道题明显是修饰逗号前面的名词，不是很能理解为什么会这样？请教大家！！

但是如果这么说的话那A中的也是“assigned”也是分词，前面有逗号，位于句尾，可肯定不是伴随结果。

那为什么可以作定语修饰逗号前面的paychecks？

如果按照楼上的说法岂不是解释不通？

请教！

不记得前面的题目中哪位牛人曾经总结了分词在句尾的用法，其中提到“当前面有逗号的时候修饰句子主语，没有逗号的时候修饰前面的名词作定语”，但是现在感觉这道题目违背了前面的原则，请教大家！
